Karaoke, chicken adobo and Santo Niño prayers. “We can only do our best, diba (right)?” In a follow-up collaboration to last year’s acclaimed production of This Is Not a True Story, Artists at Play joins forces with Latino Theater Company to present a warm, funny new play about a multigenerational Filipino American household.
Strong, glamorous family matriarch Maggie (Rinabeth Apostol) is celebrating a milestone birthday, and the de Dios family has gathered to celebrate in true FilAm style: Maggie’s longtime husband Ferdie (Reggie Lee); their eldest daughter, a former teen mom and the black sheep of the family, Connie (Ellen D. Williams) and her aspiring chef son, Tanner (Ryan Nebreja); and youngest daughter, Fritzie (Josette Canilao), a successful real estate agent, with her Jewish fiancé, Nate (Josh Odsess–Rubin). Add to the mix Maggie’s fabulously over-the-top sister, Babette (Jason Rogel), and get ready for a warm, loving, hilarious — and explosive — family reunion.
